Chapter 262: A Stone
The key was stuffed to the end, and then it was turned, Cheng Qianxun held the handle of the key and turned it slowly. www.biquge.info I only felt that the pores of my body were open, and the slightest sweat was oozing out, and in the slightly cold air in the dark hole, it seemed to be freezing.
My breath became short, and my eyes were a little glazed with nervousness. I don't know if it's the door to treasure or the door to death.
In the face of death, ordinary people will be like this. But she can't do this, she has come here, how can she be too timid to move forward.
Cheng Qianxun stabilized his mind again, closed his eyes, and turned the key suddenly.
"Gurgle~" only a slight sound, so that the meat in the heart seems to be able to shake violently with the sound... After waiting for a while, I didn't feel the pain of the arrow piercing my body. She tried to push the stone door with her hands, but it was heavy and didn't move.
With all her strength, the bulky stone door was finally pushed open a little bit, and the sound of the stone door sliding shaft turning could be heard as it was pushed.
It seems that the key is on the right side, and the other teammates were about to step forward, but they were immediately stopped by Rudolph with his arms outstretched: "Go to two people, Lance, you stay." ”
"I'll go!" Sneijder stepped forward. It's a simple multiple-choice question, Rudolph has an extraordinary memory, and Hoffman knows Hebrew, and both of them must be saved.
When Gordon was about to go up, Rudolph said, "Gordon, Regel's backpack is now for you to carry." ”
The meaning is very clear, this time one of them died in a group, Cheng Qianxun continued to open the door, and Sneijder went to help. You can't say anything, everyone is a group of them, right?
When Mullen saw Rudolph looking at him, he could only shrug his shoulders: "Okay, I'll go." ”
With the combined efforts of Sneijder, Mullen, and Cheng Qianxun, the door was finally slowly opened.
The wind immediately formed a convection current, and it was still dark inside, and Gordon stepped forward and shone his flashlight. This searchlight can be seen more than a hundred meters away, and after illuminating, I see that behind the door is a staircase, leading to the bottom.
Rudolph also walked over, took Gordon's flashlight, walked through the stone door, and shone it behind the door: "The door will not be so difficult to open, there is a stone pulley behind it, the age is too old, the gears of the stone have changed, and two of them are broken when retreating." ”
I've heard of a door that weighs thousands of pounds, and after being equipped with a special device, it can be pushed open with one finger.
Cheng Qianxun also looked at it, and saw that behind the keyhole of Bashiba, there were metal strips connected to it. This should be the mechanism, so he said angrily: "What is this broken stone door to show?" ”
Hoffman still has a bit of a religious legacy, after all, he has trusted for a long time, he explains: "It means that the door of God is not difficult to open, as long as it is done in the right way." ”
This time Cheng Qianhiro became more and more angry: "If you want the right way, if it's wrong, it's the price of your life." I finally understood that the God who was the opposite of Satan also killed people according to his preferences. Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die! ”
Hoffman's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he couldn't say anything. On the one hand, Regel died, which made it uncomfortable for his teammates who came with him; Satan, on the other hand, may be watching somewhere. Especially the demon king of this layer is Levidan, and he will be jealous at every turn, and if he is annoyed, he will be relieved of his anger first.
"Let's go down." Rudolph took a few more photos, and there was a black hole below, and he was very helpless.
After walking so many steps, I always want to climb up. Now it's going down, and it doesn't feel good.
The stone steps are a bit steep and narrow, and in some places they have become loose or even collapsed due to age. I want to be fast and I'm afraid of falling, I don't know how deep it is here, and it's a bit too unjust to fall to death. I'd rather die from a trap than fall to my death.
I continued to walk, and finally came to the point, but I stepped on the water.
Rudolph frowned slightly: "It's an underground river." ”
The passage sandwiched between the mountains on the left and right is actually the original river channel. The river on the surface has dried up, but the underground river still flows, making a slight sound of running water.
There is not a lot of water, just enough to cover the surface of the feet, and there are passages on the left and right, where should I go?
"If it doesn't work, you can only choose one direction." Sneijder was a little worried after speaking: "It doesn't count as a detour, you may be behind." ”
Try not to detour, the price of this defeat will be total annihilation.
"There should be a hint!" The teammates shone their flashlights around, trying to find some clues.
But when Hoffman saw a large stone in the middle of the river on his right, he immediately pointed to it with his light: "It should be here." ”
Everyone walked over and took a look, it was just a very ordinary stone, about the size of a millstone, there were no big stones here or right, it was obviously moved. The stone must have been in the murmuring water for a long, long time, and it was washed smooth all around.
How can you see where the direction of a stone is? Even if this stone was moved, it was only a stone, and it had not been artificially carved, and there were no hints or patterns on it.
Hoffman affirmed: "King David used to sing hymns around Saul to please God and bring a little peace to Saul's heart." There are many hymns he wrote in the Old Testament, and one of them is famous: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my Savior, my God, my rock, and my refuge... ”
Suddenly, it suddenly opened up, and it was really a bit of a doorway. Otherwise, such a big stone is placed, who knows. So everyone walked to the right side of the water.
The water in the depths of the ground for a long time was very cold, and after a while, Cheng Qianxun felt that his feet soaked in the water were cold and cold. If Professor Gross were still alive, he must have felt that all this suffering was God's test for him. On the sacred road to the Ark of the Covenant, she felt like a sewer, or a rainwater drain. Fortunately, the groundwater here is pure natural and unpolluted, if it really stinks like a sewer, there is no way to live this day, it is better to die directly.
After walking for a while, Rudolph stopped. After looking left and right, he said, "Turn off all the flashlights." ”
It's off, isn't it closed and you can't see anything? But everyone did as Rudolph said, turning off all the lights.
When it was closed, it was dark, and in addition to the sound of running water, there was also the sound of everyone breathing each other... After a while, my eyes got used to it, and suddenly I saw that the wall seemed to be a little green, and then it became clearer and clearer...
Everyone was amazed to see that the slightly damp cave wall emitted a faint green light like fluorite.
Gordon walked over and stretched out his index finger to wipe it on, his fingers shining.
"It's a microbe!" Rudolph looked front and back, and the entire passage was covered in something that glowed in the dark.
In this way, you can save electricity, you must know that the searchlight that can shine far away also consumes a lot of electricity, and if the electricity runs out, you can only make a torch. And this is underground, where did the branches come from, and when they used up what they brought, they had to move forward in the dark.
One thing that's good is that once you come in, don't think about going out. Either you will touch the Ark of the Covenant first and advance to the rest area; Either be eliminated and die.
As you keep going, the colder it gets, and the whole cave looks like a cold storage close to freezing. Cheng Qianxun began to rattle her teeth, and she hugged herself tightly with her arms, trying to follow the team as much as possible.
Gordon noticed something strange about her, so he took a few steps, walked up to her, and said, "I'll carry you." ”
He also endured the cold water on his feet, and the air temperature should be around five degrees at this time, and ordinary mountaineering clothes could no longer withstand the cold. And Cheng Qianxun's physique is the worst, so he feels more and more cold than other strong teammates.
"No!" Cheng Qianxun's voice was trembling, and she could feel that if she looked in the mirror at this time, she would definitely have blue lips and white lips, and she would be shivering from the cold. But she still said very firmly: "Your strength is used on the road, even if I faint, you must leave me and continue walking." At the last minute, you can't afford to lose here! ”
"Go fast!" Rudolph said loudly. Brisk walking can also resist the cold, but this method first consumes calories, and Cheng Qianxun does not have much of a source of heat stored on his body.
Snead walked over, put an arm around her, and said to the others, "If the temperature is cold, the two of you will go together." ”
Relying on each other, half of the body will not be exposed to the air, which will naturally reduce the volatilization and disappearance of heat.
"You're going to pick people!" Mullen laughed and said to Hoffman, "Looks like we're going to hug each other." ”
"I don't need it yet, do you need it?" Hoffman smiled contemptuously at Mullen, carrying about thirty pounds of various equipment on his shoulder, in order to speed up, this time he didn't bring anything camping, otherwise it would be about fifty pounds. What you carry on your back allows your back to reduce heat loss.
"Talk less, go away!" Rudolph had at least twenty pounds on his back, and he walked forward without looking back. He is not as tall as the others, relying on his toughness and the physical strength he has accumulated in normal times.
The dark river in front of us has turned a corner, and at the place where it has turned, there is a shallow, and everyone walks up first.
Hoffman saw a black circle on the beach, walked over to look at it, and took a lighter out of his pocket. ", when~" As the lighter was turned on loudly, a flame was sparked. The fire was carefully moved to the black circle, and as soon as it got closer, it burst into flames and gradually spread throughout the black circle, forming a bonfire.
"It's charcoal, and the ancients were really kind, knowing that we were cold and frozen." Hoffman sat down, took off his soaked shoes, pulled off his socks, which were also wet, and set them on fire against the fire.
"What kind of fire, can't you keep going?" Sneijder was a little dissatisfied.
But Rudolph, who was beside him, looked at Hoffman a few times, then walked over and sat down.
A roasting fire where slippers take off socks. Don't say that Snead doesn't know, even the others don't understand, now that they are in a hurry, why do they need to bake the fire? Of course, it should be more comfortable to dry your feet and dry your shoes and socks.
"Hurry up and make a fire!" Hoffman pouted to the side.
On the ground next to it, on the cliff not far from the bonfire, a huge line of words is engraved. Hoffman sighed slightly: "It says roasting fire." (To be continued.) )
